Do I bring the whole range?
No. One finished piece is the booking. If the range has six bottles, we book six, or we book the three that will actually be on the card.
Can you come to the shop instead?
Yes, if the shop has a window we can work with. Say so in the letter. The stairs here are narrow and a chair does not enjoy them.
Which day is the courtyard?
Thursday, and only if the stone is dry. Rain moves the job back to the table. We do not pretend a wet courtyard is a sunny one.
Do you shoot in the cellar the same day?
No. Cellars are a different day. The bottles come here first so we know the label before we lose the light underground.
What language should I write in?
Romanian or Russian. The reply is in the language of the letter.
Who keeps the files?
You get the stills named for the object. We keep a working copy until the invoice is paid, then the use is whatever the note on that invoice says.
